Just a Quick Update on my Return!

Standard

With a heartfelt greeting, I wanted to say hello again and tell a little about my feelings and how I am happy to get back here, though I don’t know where I really am!
Sometimes I feel like I’m in the wrong movie, as the Germans would say: “Ich bin im falschen Film”! This feeling usually arises when I travel and am away from my loved friends and social media connections for an extended period.
Of course, I don’t want to be in media as much as I usually am, but I don’t want to break totally up, as I have some duties (translating the topics in English and German) about that happening in Iran right now.
But there is a leak in the matter; I do not have such facilities and all of the necessary resources (like I have at home) which might be needed, only a SmartPhone, making it difficult for me, and I must try to strain my aged eyes to read and work on the small display. I may never belong to this modern bourgeois world!

Honestly, my complaint is about something else; I feel that there is no understanding that sometimes one is prevented from reacting as usual to this mass of writers and artists in WP. I admit there are a few exceptions who understand me entirely, but most of my adorable friends have immense expectations for feedback or acquiring customers!

Acknowledging that every individual has unique experiences that shape their understanding of the world around them is crucial. As a result, when interacting with others, we must consider the diverse range of societies and backgrounds that exist to gain a fuller understanding of their perspective. Recognizing and respecting these differences can build stronger connections and more meaningful relationships with those around us.


I come from a time when artists struggled to make ends meet and did not know how to market their art. I belong to that era when young people would secretly wait for their beloved at the bakery, stealing glances from the corner of their eyes. I prefer communicating through letters and exchanging phone numbers rather than relying on technology.

Art has become increasingly commercialized in recent times. It is rare to find artists solely focused on creating art, as most must also consider the business side of selling their works. If only my father had known this, I would be wealthy now! My father was highly regarded and famous during his time, but he belonged to a generation of artists who were less concerned with making money and more focused on their craft.

My father at his best time.

Stop complaining! Let’s share something useful. 😉Thanks for your attention.🙏💖

  3. Yes, it is sad that in these days people are talking about art in business way instead of artistic way. I think the fact that everything is way more fast and there is more stuff makes if worse for real artist to emerge. In any case welcome back!

  5. Really enjoyed this post and appreciate the messages you’ve articulated about interacting with others in this digital era, and the subjects that should be considered when doing so. Thank you for writing what is rarely written.

    I am not a fan of working on small displays either, especially with photos. Warm regards to you.

    • My dear, beautiful lady, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for making my day with your highly intellectual understanding. At times, we become so engrossed in our own affairs that we tend to overlook the existence of different perspectives. Again, Thank you for your friendship, which I truly cherish and appreciate.🤗🥰🦋🙏💖

  7. Thank you Aladin, I always enjoy your reflective posts. Much like Jack, I too write as a vocation, for pleasure (despite the challenges) and never for business. Thankfully, we’re all different writers and we bring different gifts and subjects to the writing table of life. Living a creative is what brings me the most growth, happiness, peace, hope, inspiration and some incredible dreams. Love and light, Deborah.

    • It’s always good to have friends like you, letting go of his complaining! However, there are differences in how countries handle the arts industry and artists. Despite being a successful writer in his time, my father could not manage his finances well enough to provide for his family. He was not savvy enough and was eventually robbed by his publisher.
      Anyway, thank you so much for being here with me.💖🙏🦋

  10. Thank you for this Aladin, I have to agree with you about technology and the need to spend so much time on social media for artists to spread the word about their work…I for one can’t keep up! I do consider myself lucky to live in a free thinking country that is fairly supportive of it’s artists rather than censoring them – I’m sorry to hear about your father’s experiences in another land.

    • Thank you, my dear Lin. Although books essentially have been welcome in Iran, It’s hard for a vocational writer to live through his books, and the worst is that my father was too naive how to deal with money making! 😕💖🙏
